Muffin Tin Monday: Halloween Ghost Banana Snack

For today’s muffin tin meal, and in keeping with our Halloween theme, Maggie and I made a ghost banana muffin tin snack. I saw something similar in Family Fun magazine last year, but I most recently saw this idea from anotherlunch.com via Pinterest. Not only was this Halloween snack a hit with both of my kids, it’s kid-friendly to make, too!

We used eliachi bananas, which are itty-bitty, and pieces of chocolate bar. Kids can help with all of the steps for this Halloween snack.

Peel the banana.

If you’re using a regular banana, cut it in half with a plastic knife.

Stick three chocolate chips in one end of each banana half, to make the ghost’s face.

Serve in a Halloween muffin cup or liner!

You may recall that my kids don’t eat bananas. I once served Dalton bananas with sprinkles in a muffin tin meal and he picked off each individual sprinkle and ate it. So I was shocked that my kids actually ate their ghost snacks. Maggie even ate two! I thought for sure they’d pick off the chocolate chips and refuse to eat the banana, but I’m glad I was wrong. And, they requested ghost bananas again the next day. Success!
